Ask HN: How do you monitor your infrastructure?

7 pointsby deepsyalmost 8 years ago
Hello! In the past day I&#x27;ve been researching how to do proper monitoring to our infrastructure, but unfortunately this seems much harder then expected. We need to monitor: 4x AWS Lambdas (errors &amp; invocations), 2x Cloudfront statistics, CPU usage of EC2 instance, requests per second of heroku instance and its response time and few stats about Mongo instance.<p>If we were running only on AWS stack, Cloudwatch fit our needs, but we have some external dependencies.<p>I would like to hear, how do you monitor your infrastructure at scale and what tools are you using?

For my projects I almost always use NewRelic (free works fine, unless something gets really wrong and more info is needed). Additionally, I use my own open-source application and write custom setups to collect data of whatever I want ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;andriussev&#x2F;server-seer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;andriussev&#x2F;server-seer</a> ); from there on the data can be processed internally or, I tend to use my wrapper for it on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysplatter.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sysplatter.com</a>.<p>Obviously, that would not work with log data.

I work at a monitoring company (VividCortex) so I mostly use that. I look at CloudWatch for some more AWS-specific things.
